I have played millions of rounds of blackjack. I started working my way into the gambling dens when I was still underage. I have wagered on online chemin de fer, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a short while. With all that said I have still lost a lot of money at twenty-one. The casinos have made it very hard to beat the house.

I still enjoy the game and wager on a frequent basis. Over the years I have wagered on a type of chemin de fer called "The Take it Leave it Method". You certainly won’t get rich with this method or beat the house, however you will experience a lot of fun. This tactic is centered on the fact that vingt-et-un seems to be a match of streaks. When you are on fire your hot, and when you are not you are NOT!

I bet with basic strategy vingt-et-un. When I don’t win I bet the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand. If I don’t win again I wager the lowest amount allowed on the successive hand again etc. As soon as I win I take the payout paid to me and I bet the initial wager again. If I win this hand I then leave the winnings paid to me and now have double my original wager on the table. If I win again I take the payout paid to me, and if I win the next hand I leave it for a total of 4 times my original wager. I keep wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I lose I lower the bet back down to the original bet.

I am very disciplined and never "chicken out". It gets extremely exciting on occasion. If you win a few hands in sequence your bets go up very fast. Before you realize it you are wagering $100-200/ hand. I have had awesome streaks a couple of times now. I left a $5 table at the Flamingo a couple of years ago with $750 after 45 mins using this tactic! And a couple of months ago in Vegas I left a game with $1200!

You must understand that you can give away a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more thrilling. And you will be surprised at the streaks you notice gamble this way. Below is a chart of what you would wager if you continue winning at a $5 table.

Wager $5
Take 5 dollar paid to you, leave the original $5 wager

Wager five dollar
Leave five dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of ten dollar

Bet 10 dollar
Take $10 paid-out to you, leave the original 10 dollar wager

Bet 10 dollar
Leave 10 dollar paid to you for a total wager of $20

Bet twenty dollar
Take 20 dollar paid to you, leave the first twenty dollar bet

Wager 20 dollar
Leave $20 paid to you for a total bet of $40

Wager 40 dollar
Take forty dollar paid to you, leave the first 40 dollar bet

Bet forty dollar
Leave 40 dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of $80

Wager $80
Take eighty dollar paid-out to you, leave the first eighty dollar wager

Bet 80 dollar
Leave $80 paid-out to you for a total wager of 160 dollar

Wager 160 dollar
Take $160 paid to you, leave the original $160 bet

If you left at this instance you would be up three hundred and 15 dollars !!

It is herculean to go on a streak this long, but it occasionally happen. And when it does you mustn’t alter and drop your wager or the final result will not be the same.
